Former UFC welterweight champ Chris Weidman has found a target for his injury-induced saltiness: current belt holder – and Weidman’s injury replacement at UFC 199 – Michael Bisping.

“He should be kissing my feet right now and instead he's not saying my name,” Wiedman said during the UFC Ottawa QnA.
“Smart move. Bisping is definitely going to try and keep that belt as long as he possibly can and he doesn't want to look at me.
“I understand that. Good for him. Smart."
Instead of an immediate rematch with former champ Luke Rockhold, or with Weidman, it looks like Bisping is looking for a cash grab against possibly-retired-but-still-in-fighting-shape Georges St-Pierre and, strangely, the aging Dan Henderson – who has previously beaten Bisping.
"I actually had some people reach out to me and say 'Georges St-Pierre is interested in fighting you'," Bisping said on Fox Sports' Jay and Dan. "Yes, some people from his camp. I was like 'Really, wow. Okay.'"
"Tell him to sign the dotted line, just like (what I said about Dan) Henderson, if he really wants to come out of retirement."
“It's the reality that has happened because of me, because I got injured,” Weidman said. "If it's true, they see an easy fight, why not go for it and get a belt at the same time?”
“Who wouldn't want that? I mean, poor Bisping but can you pick one guy in the top 15 that you are sure he can beat?
"There are definitely guys he can beat but that you would say for sure he would beat?
"Who is he gonna be a favourite against? Maybe a small favourite [against Henderson]," Weidman said.
Shots. Fired.
Bisping and GSP are tied in holding the most number of wins in the UFC.
